After picking up Ren Le, Wu Xi and his entourage drove in the direction of Yukou Town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm sorry, I was supposed to take you to have a good time yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be successful, but I let you come to the police station for an in-depth tour."
"Lele, where are you going to take us today?"
"Although you stay in the metropolis all year round, you must not have seen the place I took you to today, it is called Niangniang Temple."
"Niangniang Temple?"
"At the foot of the mountain in the south of the town, I don't know what kind of god it is, it has been built for forty or fifty years, and at first there were people who went to it to ask for blessings or something, but then they found that it was useless at all, and there were fewer and fewer people who went. However, there is a blind man living in this temple, and he will tell fortunes to people on the fifteenth day of the first month, and it is said that the calculation is particularly accurate," Ren Le leaned his head over, "After I finished my studies, my mother urged me every day, and I had to bring her a boyfriend back, but, I didn't talk about peach blossom luck since I was a child, and I haven't even seen a piece of flowers and leaves, so I want to find him to calculate for me, to see when I want the ink to come, if I really get married in my forties, I don't want to, I concentrate on my career first." ”
"It's been a long time since we let us accompany you to settle the marriage." Wu Xi teased her.
"What's the accompaniment, and by the way, I'll calculate it for you, and see who your one is, or do you already have a goal?" She squeezed her eyes at Xu Xing, who was concentrating on driving, and looked at Wu Xi with a smile.
Wu Xi glared at her, "Didn't you say that he would only tell fortunes on the fifteenth day of the new year?" Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. ”
"That's not absolute, it is said that he will not refuse when he meets someone who is destined, maybe I am the person who is destined."
The car drove all the way south, and after about an hour, according to Ren Le's instructions, he left the national highway and drove onto a country road. Wu Xi looked at the rice fields and distant mountains outside the window, and suddenly felt as if he had been to this place. At that time, she was still young, that is, five or six years old, Wu Li'an led her to walk on the path in the rice field, and taught her to sing the song "Worm Flying" as she walked.
"Worm fly, worm fly, who are you missing? Dad, what does it mean to miss? ”
Wu Li'an looked at the mountains in the distance like ink paintings, "Missing, that is, there is a person living in your heart, this person is very domineering, no matter how you drive her, she will not come out." ”
"If the heart is not a house, how can it live in people?" Wu Xi no longer paid attention to her father's nonsense, picked up a dead branch and teased the little fish in the rice field.
With a "whoosh", the car stopped suddenly, and Wu Xi's body hit the seat in front of him hard.
"What's wrong?" As soon as she opened her mouth to ask, she was so shocked by the scene in front of the car that she couldn't say a word: a huge funeral procession was walking in their direction, white flags fluttering, paper money everywhere, everyone dressed in white clothes and hats, and their faces were sad. The young man at the head was holding a black photo frame, and inside the frame was the portrait of the old man who sold flowers yesterday. They walked towards the car little by little, and when they passed by the car, Wu Xi grabbed Ren Le's hand beside him.
She saw that in the middle of the funeral procession, there was a woman standing, with a fair melon seed face, beautiful peach blossom eyes, and two big black braids hanging on her chest. Wu Xi felt that his heartbeat skipped a beat, that woman, not dressed in plain clothes like others, but wearing an old-fashioned embroidered cotton jacket with a diagonal placket, the color of red and willow green was particularly eye-catching in the funeral procession.
How could she be so unruly and wear red and green at someone else's funeral. However, even if she doesn't understand the rules, others won't let her do it, unless, unless she doesn't ...... at all
"Miss, you're on the road......" The sudden cry from the team made Wu Xi tremble, and he couldn't help but look away in the direction of Ren Le. Miss? The photo is obviously the old man who sells flowers, where did the eldest lady come from.
"Lele, did you hear that?" She whispered to Ren Le beside her, but the moment she saw it clearly, she was so shocked that she pulled her hand out of the hand that had been holding her. The man sitting next to her, dressed in an old-fashioned embroidered padded jacket, was smiling at her with big black eyes.
Wu Xi let out an exclamation and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Ren Le beside her gently pushed her and asked worriedly.
"Am I asleep?" Wu Xi looked at Ren Le beside him, and his heart gradually settled down.
"No, not only are you asleep, but you seem to be dreaming, and you are sweating so much."
The car stopped suddenly, just like the scene in the dream, Wu Xi straightened his neck and looked forward, and found that a funeral procession was approaching, and the person headed by him was holding the portrait of the old man selling flowers.
"Xu Xing." Remembering the scene in her dream, she suddenly panicked.
"It's okay, let's get out of the way." Xu Xing said and pulled the car against the side of the road.
Wu Xi pressed his body lower and lower, and cautiously looked at the figures who were getting closer and closer, for fear of seeing one or two ghost shadows coming out from among them. Fortunately, she didn't find anything unusual in the team, but Ren Le suddenly opened the window and whispered to one of the staggering figures: "Grandpa Yu, mourn." ”
The person she called Grandpa Yu nodded lightly at Ren Le, and then followed the crowd away.
"You know him?" Wu Xi asked with some confusion.
"Grandpa Yu's name is Yu Xiong, and he used to be a long-term worker in my grandmother's family, and he is the only helper who is still in contact with our family."
"So your grandmother's family is a big family, and there used to be a lot of servants?"
"My grandmother's father was a big businessman, and he used to be a big business, but after my grandmother died, my grandfather didn't like to be public, so he sent a sum of money to each of them. But Uncle Yu grew up in my grandmother's house since he was a child, and his feelings are relatively deep, so he will come to see it every New Year's Day, although now there are only my grandfather and my new grandmother at home. ”
"New grandmother? Your grandfather is married again? ”
"Yes, five years after my grandmother's death, he married his second wife, who is now my new grandmother."
"I thought it was ......," Wu Xi stopped talking.
"Why do you think so? Thought he would be lonely for the rest of his life because he missed my grandmother? Xixi, are you simple or stupid, a man is not a woman, even if he loves a woman again, but he will not guard himself for her, no, or he can't keep it at all, after all, it is a physiological need. ”
"Niangniang Temple, there is Niangniang Temple in front." Wu Xi found a perfect reason to interrupt Ren Le's words, "Go and settle the marriage." ”
